Starship Launch Tower Sections Outfitted for Installation
In preparation for rollout, SpaceX outfitted the new launch tower sections with propellant and gas lines. This will dramatically lessen the time needed to bring the tower up to full operational capacity after installation. Also, the Booster test tank, B14.1, was rolled back to the production site.
